[javascript] JS map return object

I got this array,

var rockets = [
    { country:'Russia', launches:32 },
    { country:'US', launches:23 },
    { country:'China', launches:16 },
    { country:'Europe(ESA)', launches:7 },
    { country:'India', launches:4 },
    { country:'Japan', launches:3 }
];

What do I need to do to return an array mapped, that adds 10 to each

launches

value, here my first approach,

var launchOptimistic = rockets.map(function(elem){
  // return  elem.launches+10;
     return (elem.country, elem.launches+10);


});
console.log(launchOptimistic);

This question is related to javascript dictionary

The answer is


If you want to alter the original objects, then a simple Array#forEach will do:

rockets.forEach(function(rocket) {
    rocket.launches += 10;
});

If you want to keep the original objects unaltered, then use Array#map and copy the objects using Object#assign:

var newRockets = rockets.forEach(function(rocket) {
    var newRocket = Object.assign({}, rocket);
    newRocket.launches += 10;
    return newRocket;
});

map rockets and add 10 to its launches:

_x000D_
_x000D_
var rockets = [_x000D_
    { country:'Russia', launches:32 },_x000D_
    { country:'US', launches:23 },_x000D_
    { country:'China', launches:16 },_x000D_
    { country:'Europe(ESA)', launches:7 },_x000D_
    { country:'India', launches:4 },_x000D_
    { country:'Japan', launches:3 }_x000D_
];_x000D_
rockets.map((itm) => {_x000D_
    itm.launches += 10_x000D_
    return itm_x000D_
})_x000D_
console.log(rockets)
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

If you don't want to modify rockets you can do:

var plusTen = []
rockets.forEach((itm) => {
    plusTen.push({'country': itm.country, 'launches': itm.launches + 10})
})

You're very close already, you just need to return the new object that you want. In this case, the same one except with the launches value incremented by 10:

_x000D_
_x000D_
var rockets = [_x000D_
    { country:'Russia', launches:32 },_x000D_
    { country:'US', launches:23 },_x000D_
    { country:'China', launches:16 },_x000D_
    { country:'Europe(ESA)', launches:7 },_x000D_
    { country:'India', launches:4 },_x000D_
    { country:'Japan', launches:3 }_x000D_
];_x000D_
_x000D_
var launchOptimistic = rockets.map(function(elem) {_x000D_
  return {_x000D_
    country: elem.country,_x000D_
    launches: elem.launches+10,_x000D_
  } _x000D_
});_x000D_
_x000D_
console.log(launchOptimistic);
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
